Wiki
“Put On A Smile” is the sixth song from R&B duo Silk Sonic’s "An Evening with Silk Sonic". It is a slow-paced, sad love song, where the lyrics go in almost a different direction from other tracks on the album where the duo sing about how they need their significant other instead of portraying themselves as “players”.
Mars and .Paak co-wrote the song signifying the only song solely written by Silk Sonic. It was produced by Mars while .Paak’s signature drumming style is heard.
Mars: “I had a song that I played for Andy and I said, ‘What do you think about this?’ and he said, ‘It sucks.’ I start singing it again and he gets behind the drums and that’s when the magic happens. So we come up with this hook and these chords and that’s when we start cooking, when everything starts moving in the studio. The song’s starting to sound real good now. I don’t wanna mess it up, so I call Babyface. I only call Face to know if I got something good, you know, ’cause he’ll tell me too, ‘This is wack.’ For all of us to finish that record together, that was one of my favorite experiences on this album.”
